Baba Dudu is a hard dark brown nutty coconut candy. It’s made by boiling coconut milk down with sugar till it darkens and then shaped into round or oval balls. Baba Dudu loosely translated as “black old man”, a name this candy got for its distinctive very dark brown colour. The sweet usually has a quite shiny outer coat. Baba is also called “Sweet Alagbon”, “Charbin Mallam”
